Yeah I did ages ago too, & their response to me was similarly vague...
I hadn't posted it yet as I'm still waiting for them to answer 2 final/simple Qns.
Once they address them I'll post the transcript, but don't expect much >.>
This, they really don't seem to get it, if we don't have MUCH MORE info. soon.
Then the community won't be doing much of the legwork for them until well into 2014 (if ever).
Maybe they've shared much more with hw partners, that's our only possible consolation.

Hope it will not be long now, to have some time figuring out what can and cannot be done about this.
Supported I2C revision/frequency is another thing that is still to be unveilled (400kbps sure, probably 1Mbps, maybe the latest uni-directional 5Mbps ...)

What is not disappointing, is my first pcb!
Far from perfect, but for prototyping, definitely usable!

My first 4 PCBs were completely unusable. Later I started to get the grip of it and nowadays I can do down to 8mil lines nicely.

Somebody should start thinking about the mechanics. Can an individual buy a single keyboard from somewhere and attach it to a self made PCB and 3D print the cover around them? Or do we need to 3D print everything (all the buttons separately etc.).

Meanwhile, the pull-up resitors are in place and I got a neat chip holder - so no soldering on the gpio expander. Making pcb's is not an easy task!
I asked Jolla if the interrupt line will be availlable. Answer is still "Implementation details will be shared later." (https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/status/387841141694943232)
So don't expect them to say anything about this before they are ready to do so ! Hope it will not be long now, to have some time figuring out what can and cannot be done about this. Supported I2C revision/frequency is another thing that is still to be unveilled (400kbps sure, probably 1Mbps, maybe the latest uni-directional 5Mbps ...), but has not much impact for the keyboard other half, which don't echange much data.
